~.openoffice.org2/user/ contains your profile(s)

Quite often I test between Ubuntu's version of OOo and the official
version of OOo so I tend to uninstall and reinstall frequently on my
test machine. Generally I copy or move the ~.openoffice.org2 directory
to a temporary directory for safekeeping, then delete the directory so
that a fresh install is not influenced by my profile (which also
contains fonts, common galleries etc).

When I want to restore to my old settings I simply put the old directory
back.  I suspect that you can do the same by saving one for each, or
perhaps digging into the
~.openoffice.org2/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Common.xcu/UserProfile.xcu/etc.
 files. Hopefully someone will come along with a more eloquent
solution/suggestion... but that's where your profile is located.
